I should have thought about this earlier. I song perfect for New Years is: Same Old Lange Syne by Dan Fogelberg. You would love a lot of his music. Such a beautiful voice. Sadly he passed away in 2007. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3vMqZ9smLyFY6s

[@dianaprobst3157]

I'm so glad you chose this particular performance. Live, vulnerable, honest, and the audience fully engaged. It brings me to tears.

[@doobiesoringes7131]

It wasn’t one of his most popular songs prob because it’s a song that doesn’t really have a “hook”. I think that’s why I like it so much. It’s not trying to appeal on that level, just something straight from the heart.

[@christianzafiroglu6705]

Few songs make me cry like this one. “Every time I’ve held a rose/it seems I’ve only felt the thorns.” Man, that cuts deep. “If my silence l made you leave/then that would be my worst mistake.” I’m in a puddle. “You can have this heart to break.” When love ends and you know it. The pain is gonna flood in. Have to let it in.

[@janejones7638]

Anytime I want to cry about something that's not about me, I got to this song. Crying can sometimes get the emotional out quickly so you can deal with it. Once comfronted with these emotions you can start to deal with them in a more quick manor.

[@jessedominick6129]

Abso-frickin'-lutely Summer Highland Falls!

[@williamstefens]

So many great songs. An awesome song he did live in New York would be "Until The Night" which he dedicates to the Righteous Brothers, especially as he wrote and sang it in the same style as their "You Lost that Loving Feeling". The songs and the lyrics of Until the Night is all Billy's. He just borrowed their style of singing as Billy admits he gets tired of his own voice. So definitely a must reaction song.

[@maryarawson7921]

The first time I heard this song, it made me cry, It just struck a cord with me and I cried. That's a powerful song. One of my many favorites by him. He's a great artist. I remember the first time I heard him in the 70's he blew me away, and still does, he is beyond talented.

[@johncurtis7186]

I think it’s more of a tribute to his terrific songwriting ability. Check out his “This Is The Time”- OUTSTANDINGLY beautiful.

Billy is Legend. Always amazed with his voice, his message, his piano, his briliants.

[@Historian212]

Love this song. It's not well known, but it sure is beautiful. BTW the phrase "So it goes..." became a part of popular culture because of the writer Kurt Vonnegut, whose books were wildly popular in the 1970s. He used it like a refrain in the novel "The Slaughterhouse Five," and it became such a thing that his biography is called, "And So It Goes." I'm sure that Billy Joel was aware of this when he wrote the song.

[@walterkirk9210]

Poetry indeed! The first time I heard this song was during the TV show Boston Legal and I knew it was Billy immediately and was absolutely blown away! It has been one of my favorite songs ever since.
